#03 – Mentoring: The technology of immortality (Part 1)

Mentoring is a process of transferring the genetic of code of a particular idea, vision, concept or dream to the next generation. It is handing over the baton of leadership to someone else. It is the art of emptying your cup into another’s cup. It involves two characters, which are the mentor and his protege. By doing this, the vehicle for transfer remains immortal. Someone like Mahatma Ghandi became a mentor to a lot of people. He transfered the secret of achieving freedom to the ordinary man in India, which is to fight for your right without violence.

No wonder great men like Martin Luther King Jr. picked up that same baton to fight for the black people of America. Barak Obama becoming the first black president of the United States of America today is a proof that mentoring is indeed powerful. Generations will come and go, but history will never forget great mentors like Ghandi, Martin Luther and Barack Obama. They mastered the art of mentoring. They discovered it to be the technology of immortality.
